Could be dwell time I guess. If you've seen it in a YouTube video or something Mike, stick a comment in asking - see what comes back
Personally, I go from top to bottom. -
Looking lovely 😎

Alien Magic over Fusso99:
Looking good.
Which Alien Magic product? Krypton?

I'd try some foam - I've only ever used AG interior cleaning products. Thankfully I've not needed them that often!
Leave to dwell for 5 mins, then blot with kitchen towel and see if you get any transfer onto the towel. You might also see discolouration of the foam which is a good sign that it's transferring out of the seat.Leave to dry, then assess if it's any better. Repeat if required etc. But I find the best tip is the blotting, to gently lift the contaminant away rather than just risking it moving around the seat!

If you've tried with AG interior cleaner, I would try a wet&dry vac to try and pull whatever the contaminant is out of the seat fibres.
You could also try a foaming upholstery cleaner, also available from AG. Sometimes these can be better then a spray liquid cleaner at getting amongst the stain. Then the area can be blotted in order to lift the stain through the fibres. Often if you just agitate it will move the stain, but not draw it up and away from the upholstery.
Of course, it all depends on what it was that went onto the seat in first place. If it's a chemical of some kind, it's possible that it's now fully bonded 😞
Best of luck.

Oh dear. Has this one had quite a hard life / less than sympathetic former owners I wonder? 😒

GTechniq for me. Works well

I doubt the Rainsports will wear as well as the P-Zero, but fingers crossed.

In Stockholm the other week, I notice a Volvo V70 parked up.
Plate was 'ONE ARM'.
Did a double-take, then noticed it was parked in a disabled spot....-

You'd think she'd want to go shopping on her own after all these years wouldn't you?

Yep, they've used them for a quite a while. Around here anyway, different forces do tend to choose different stuff. That's probably a GMP unit, based on where you were.
They have S3s as well, usually grey. Have seen an unmarked M135i as well. Which looked quite odd as it was on 17s. That's something they sometimes do and can be a bit of a giveaway - cheaper tyre replacement I guess

OK, I can understand that. But the replacement units fit into the same space, and mount to the same points. They're OE equivalent and the main thing is that they're the right diameter to fit to the top mount. Which they clearly are, as you've already fitted them
Eibach springs will match and work with many different shock absorber/dampeners. I've used them with Bilstein and Koni shocks on a Skoda, for example.

Yes, they're compatible. Obviously you'll need the 4WD version from Eibach for your car.
As you've already noticed, the spring rates are different

Yes the good old days of bucket sponge and fairy liquid ,how did it damage the paint when it was ok to put your hands in it
....Because your hands aren't a painted surface with a clearcoat over the top?

That looks a pretty good kit, without getting too carried away
The EZ stuff is good I've found. The only thing there you might not be able to use straight away is the snow foam, but it's only a small bottle anyway. You'd need to pick up a snowfoam lance that fits your pressure washer. I'd say that isn't urgent/required to start off with, just make sure you rinse the car down when starting to get as much residue and surface dirt off before you start with shampoo, wash mitt and the 2-bucket method 👍-

This is all sounding, and looking, very familiar! Not a new issue either, which is all the more frustrating that they haven't solved it yet...
This may help for a bit of background:
-
Probably so they don't have to change the production process, regardless of whether the car is LHD or RHD
So we could say the passenger door on a LHD vehicle instead

Ah, so spend another £2k is the solution, and don't forget to inform the insurance company. Now where can I store 4 wheels?
You've plucked a figure out of the air, but sure - if you want to spend £2k on something you like 👍
Run it past the insurance company, of course - when you discuss this sort of change with them, it can often be a no-cost policy alteration as it's OEM fitment from another wheel choice in the same model range. I've run a number of different wheels on Skodas over the years - none of which have increased a policy cost. Most from other Skodas, some wheels from within the VAG Group, some aftermarket - Speedline and OZ in my case.
Wheel storage - many places, depends on your personal storage circumstances. I find a garage and a wall-mounted wheel storage rack works very well.
Just to be clear, I'm not saying this is what you should have to do. As already discussed, SUK should open up some more wheel options and give the consumer more choice. But in my experience with the brand since 2005, they're not very open to listening to customers. Not forum enthusiasts anyway!
At the end of the day, it could be the difference between getting annoyed and not buying the rest of the car you actually want, and getting something that's been adjusted to fit your requirements.

I'm aware of how much room there is thanks!
Superb, in my opinion, is still worthy of consideration. You may not agree, but there we go. -
Welcome to the forum.
If you head to the Roomster forum and post up some detail about the issues you're having, I'm sure you'll get some help there.https://www.briskoda.net/forums/forum/101-skoda-roomster-mk-i/

Depends on the terms of the policy really. Which policy were you looking at, and have you compared it with other available warranties out there?
So you can compare properly, against the cost and cover given.
Anyone seen any mad number plates?

I've physically seen the Audi too John. Awesome's current 'demonstrator' - March '20 RS6, was first registered onto that plate as I understand it.
I'll try to get a photo next time I'm passing their place 👍
